My blood pressure was taken, which was fine except for the obvious issue of my weight and BMI (body mass index).

After I exchanged numbers with Pony Tail, I was still reluctant to give this English as a Second Language Learner a chance—but, I was also starved for male affection. The past few months have been rough, to say the least.
